ATLANTA — The gathering on the Truist Park mound kept growing. At first, Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki was visited by pitching coach Mark Prior and catcher Hunter Feduccia, with the help of interpreter Will Ireton. Then, Prior summoned head athletic trainer Thomas Albert. Then, they called out manager Dave Roberts, who eventually made the pitching change.

The group had been examining the middle finger on Sasaki’s right hand. And the team later announced Sasaki had exited with a blister on that finger.

That might explain why Sasaki, who was charged with four runs and six hits in 3 ⅓ innings, didn’t look as sharp Wednesday against the Braves as he had been in the rest of his impressive second-half stretch. Sasaki entered the day with a 2.19 ERA in six starts since the All-Star break.

His efficiency Wednesday wavered, and he exited after 66 pitches. After Sasaki gave up a solo home run to Matt Olson in the first inning, the outing began to devolve in the fourth.

Sasaki walked Ozzie Albies to open the inning. Then he surrendered a single to Mike Yastrzemski, a sacrifice fly to Austin Riley and a double to Sean Murphy. Then Prior came out to check on him.

Right-handed reliever Edgardo Henriquez replaced Sasaki, inheriting two baserunners. Both scored when Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernandez overran Drake Baldwin’s deep fly ball down the line, for a double.

Olivia was previously married to footballer Bradley Dack however it has since been revealed that the marriage was not legally binding.

Romance rumours about her and Pete being in a relationship first surfaced in March.

The rumours were sparked when Olivia, 35, and Pete, 37, were spotted kissing during a night out at rooftop bar Flute.

Their smooch came just weeks after her split from Bradley became public.

Olivia recently revealed that the pair went from platonic to romantic “very quickly” after Pete confessed his feelings and made the first move following her split from Bradley.

Speaking to The Sun about Olivia and Pete’s relationship last month, a source revealed: “What they have right now is special.

“Because her other relationships have played out so publicly, she’s making a conscious effort to keep it close to her chest.

“She’s aware that in the industry she’s in, people want to know details, but this time she wants to keep something back, to herself.

“It’s serious and a more grown up relationship.”

Olivia had always downplayed her friendship with Pete, and even branded him “repulsive” two years before they got together.

The couple have shared subtle hints that they are now together, but are still keeping things on the downlow.

Pete has hard-launched their relationship a couple of times, but Liv’s approach is much more lowkey.

MEGAN McKenna was violently attacked in her own home by three machete wielding thugs who tore her jewellery off her hand as she begged them not to kill her.

The three men left the TV star fleeing the UK for Germany with her now husband, Union Berlin footballer Oliver Burke.

Megan, who is mum to 22-month-old Landon, reveals she confronted the robbers after they used a baseball bat to break into her locked bedroom and pleaded with them to leave.

Speaking on Jamie Laing’s Good Company podcast, Megan said: “I was robbed really badly in my own home.”

The incident happened in 2024, with the men going on trial last year.

Opening up about the robbery, Megan said to sleep alone in her home in London while Oliver was away in Germany.

Megan, 33, explained: “I must have fallen asleep within the first 15 minutes.

“I woke up to my whole house shaking. I was such a disorientated mess.

“They were inside my house, but I lock my bedroom door every night because I always worry about something happening to me when I’m on my own.

“The next thing I know, my mirror has come off my wall, and they’re hacking a hole through my wall with a baseball bat.

“They’re three masked men with machetes and baseball bats, and they managed to hack a hole in my wall because it was a fake wall going onto my dressing room, linked to my bedroom

“ And if my door wasn’t locked, actually, they probably would have woken me up and probably killed my dog.”

Megan immediately called the police who told her not to speak to the masked raiders.

But fearing for her dog, Megan said she confronted them.

She added: I went over to them. I was naked.

“I was talking to this man in a balaclava, and he grabbed my hand and he took jewelry off of me.

“Like I actually was holding hands with the robber, and they had a conversation outside the wall, and they made a phone call.

“I was shaking. I’d cut my foot. There was blood everywhere. It was like a bloody murder scene.

“And then I’m standing naked, and they just left with nothing, with nothing else.”

Megan said she believes the men had always planned to attack her.

She said: “It was obviously targeted.

“[The police] wanted me to go on trial.

“And I just said to them, like, I actually can’t physically do that. Go through it.”

Despite the men being jailed, Megan said she was horrified to learn they had been released not long after being locked up.

Megan explained: “They got caught, and then they went on trial, and then a year later, they just got let out.

“They’re just roaming the roads.”

Megan, who found fame on Towie and Celebrity Big Brother before pursuing a career as a singer, said she will now not stay in the UK alone.

She added: “It scared me so much to be in the UK and to live in the UK on my own, because obviously Ollie’s in Germany.”

OLIVIA Attwood has put a new spin on getting closure, a day after her former husband was spotted with his ex-girlfriend.

The TV star, who split from Bradley Dack in January, threw a lavish soiree on the roof of her building to launch her new drink venture.

And on hand was a tattoo artist, who Olivia asked to ink her wedding ring finger – timely given her ex’s public jaunt with his former flame Emily.

The former Mrs Dack seemed nonplussed, however, looking glam as the tattoo was inked onto her digit as she sipped cocktails in the sunshine.

She was filmed during the process, asking the camera: “Who has a tattoo artist on their penthouse launch for their own drinks launch?”

She was then seen looking around and pointing to herself.

Olivia’s bold statement is another sure fire sign that she has moved on from Bradley, whom she split from in January due to a “breach of trust” on his part.

Last week her new beau Pete Wicks “hard launched” their romance on Instagram after months of speculation that they had gone from friends to lovers.

Pete will even appear on Olivia’s show The Price Of Perfection, when it returns to ITV2 for a fourth season next month.

In March, The Sun exclusively revealed that Bradley, 32, had reconnected with his ex-girlfriend, Emily Rose Moloney.

They were eventually pictured together for the first time this week, seen returning to her flat in South-East London.

While The Sun went on to exclusively reveal that the couple’s TV wedding was never legally binding, Olivia, 35, had been open about her heartache in the immediate aftermath of their split.

In a new advert for Olivia’s show The Price Of Perfection, Pete and Olivia are seen flirting up a storm in scenes from the upcoming season.

The series – which returns to ITV2 on August 4th – will feature Pete in at least one scene, as the pair chat together in the studio of their KISS FM radio show.

Pete is seen asking Olivia what she’d change about him, with her picking his eyes – much to his dismay.
